OH-OH … You are going to miss this boat … the Publishing at Sea cruise is SOLD OUT!
Authors who need a crash course in book publishing before they write, or need to create demand for books that aren’t selling, can learn the inside secrets of how to write and market a bestseller, during a Caribbean cruise Jan. 18-23, 2014.
The “Create the Ultimate Bestseller at Sea!” cruise includes training sessions and laser coaching by five book publishing experts:
- Book shepherd Judith Briles, who has written 31 books, including several bestsellers. She hosts the annual Author U in Denver which trains thousands of authors and publishers.
- Publicity expert Joan Stewart, aka The Publicity Hound, a former journalist who has coached, mentored and trained thousands of authors, writers, publishers, CEOs and business owners, on how to self-promote.
- Book distribution expert Amy Collins who knows every facet of the book distribution labyrinth and has worked with major publishing houses as well as independent authors.
- Book marketing expert Penny Sansevieri, who has helped make 11 books bestsellers in less than two years.
- Branding expert Georgia McCabe, a social media strategist and best-selling author, helps authors by predicting how evolving technologies will combine with consumer needs to create business opportunities.
The cruise aboard the Royal Caribbean’s “Brilliance of the Seas” will leave port in Tampa, Fla., and travel to George Town on Grand Cayman, and then onto Cozumel, Mexico.
At sea, participants can attend 12 intensive sessions on strategic book marking, distribution, publicity, professional speaking, social media and other topics important to creating a bestseller. They can also take advantage of laser coaching with the four experts. In port, participants are free to relax and enjoy the sites.
The cost for all workshops, the cruise, taxes and gratuities is $1,100 per person for an outside, ocean view cabin, or $1,200 per person for a balcony. If you were to buy a collective hour of the five “Chicks at Sea”, it would cost you $1500! Grab your spot for the ultimate working vacation.
Registrants can pay for the trip over six months, via PayPal, with no interest. All details are on the PublishingAtSea.com website for each workshop.
Register at http://www.PublishingatSea.com. Or call Judith Briles at 303-885-2207.

An Insider’s Tips to Create Your Amazon Book Launch … Even with an Old Book
Did you know that 74% of all books in the U.S. are sold via Amazon and that 55% of all books worldwide are sold within the Amazon portal? You, as an author, MUST be there. The question is: How “there” are you?
At a recent AuthorU.org Saturday meeting, author Anne Randolph delivered an excellent program on How to Launch—or in some cases, Re-Launch an old book. Today, we will guide you through the process step-by-step. Included are what you need before you start the formal launch. Your set up, your to-dos and then what you do during. Only listen in if you want to sell thousands of books and be a #1 International Bestseller.
When: Tuesday, December 6th at 4 PT, 5MT, 6CT, 7 ET
Independent bookstores are among the very best places for indie authors to sell their books.
Many of these stores have fiercely loyal customers.
And unlike the big chains, some stores are willing to give your book a “test run” to see if it sells. And they are willing to purchase directly from you, the publisher.
But not every book is right for every indie bookstore.
Join me from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time on TUESDAY, December 6th–when I host Amy Collins and Daniel Hall who will do free training on “How Indie Authors & Publishers Can Sell Tons of Books To Independent Book Stores.” Remember: even if you can’t attend the webinar live, you want to register. Why?—because you will get the replay
Register at http://danielhallwebinars.com/indiebookjudith/
You will learn:
* An overview of the kinds of books independent book and gift stores want to see
* What they buy and when they buy them
* How stores GET books and how to get your book on their shelves
* How to know if your book belongs in a certain stores and if there’s room on their shelves for it
* The key questions to ask yourself before you approach the stores
* Step by step example of the first email to send a buyer to get the ball rolling
* How to change their minds if they say “no”
If you’re a publisher or author, don’t miss this training. Amy and Daniel will stay on the lined until all your questions are answered.

P.S.
These stores are great places to rack up sales so you can then approach the big box retailers like Costco and Walmart.
